Estimate
...kirsch liqueur, garrigue, crushed flowers, Asian spices, and cured meats...deep, full-bodied aromas and flavors, and a huge finish.
Blackberry and plum flavors are ripe but edged by cooling minerals and heady tones of garrigue, allspice and charcuterie. It's a rich, mouthcoating wine wrapped in fine, chalky tannins.
...showing vibrant floral and tea-like notes, raspberry fruit and hints of licorice. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, with overtones of spice cake on the long, crisp finish.
Intensely perfumed, spice-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri and incense... Palate-staining raspberry and boysenberry flavors are complemented by an exotic floral pastille quality and suggestions of star anise and allspice. Rich but bright and energetic as well, showing superb finishing clarity, smooth, well-knit tannins and persistent florality.
Dark-fruit aromas with wild herbs, tarry, slate-like, stony notes and dark chocolate, too. The palate is unashamedly ripe, packed with dark, rich fruit and a thread of dark chocolate. Weighs in warm at the finish.
